Capturing the ephemeral: Tales from the edge of gender science

Capturing the ephemeral: Tales from the edge of gender science

Gender and sexuality permeate human cultures across time. Professor
Richards explores these fundamental concepts and the reality of lived
human experience, especially in the lives of people who venture outside
of the expectations given to them at birth: trans and non-binary people.
What are the practical realities for people with fluid sexuality from
current scientific, clinical and philosophical perspectives, and what
clarity can be found in these contested areas?
